Barco scores in the sector top 12% on Vigeo Eiris ESG rating
Vigeo Eiris is a rating and research agency that evaluates organization’s integration of social, environmental and governance (ESG) factors into their strategies, operations and management. Their focus is on promoting responsible investment and sustainable value creation.
The rating of Barco confirms previous ratings and a consistently solid performance. Last month, we were proud to receive a AA rating for MSCI. Also for Ecovadis Barco recently received a Gold rating again – a similar result as last year. We are now in the top 5% of Ecovadis respondents.
Barco’s formal sustainability ambitions for 2023 are:
- Reduce the carbon footprint of our own operations by 35% (baseline 2015)
- Reduce the energy footprint of our products by 25% (baseline 2015)
- Ensure that at least 70% of our revenues comes from products with the Barco ECO label
Our solid roadmap on sustainability was also externally confirmed by the approval of our carbon reduction target by the Science Based Targets initiative earlier this year.
“I’m really pleased with this excellent result, which is again as a confirmation of our continuous efforts and commitment in our roadmap towards fully sustainable business. This has become an important strain of our company DNA”, says Jan De Witte, CEO of Barco.
